The 2024 NFL trade deadline saw significant moves from various teams, with the Detroit Lions emerging as winners by acquiring Za'Darius Smith to replace the injured Aidan Hutchinson. The Dallas Cowboys, on the other hand, struggled to make impactful trades, adding only Jonathan Mingo amidst a disappointing season.

AFC North teams, including the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, also made strategic moves to bolster their playoff hopes. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints faced setbacks, losing key player Marshon Lattimore and parting ways with head coach Dennis Allen.

Finally, the San Francisco 49ers made a last-minute acquisition, adding Khalil Davis to their defensive line, continuing their trend of active participation in trade deadlines under Kyle Shanahan.
